Suicide is never an option, because you are worth it!

Innocence is never truly lost, find your inner child…

A MONSTER UNDER MY BED

A Monster Under My Bed

Sometimes, as I sit in class, surrounded by other kids just like me, I close my eyes…letting my thoughts take me to a better a place.

A place where I can be myself and not pretend to be somebody I’m not. A place free of judgments. I like it here…I feel safe.

Suddenly, I’m startled out of my trance by the bell. My peers hurry out the door.

Slowly I drag myself out of my seat, grabbing my backpack, thinking… “I can do this…I can make it through another day.”

SOLITUDE

Some stolen moments are taken for granted…to be forever lost in your longing for another day so simple and pure.

I always told my girls that actions speak louder than words… this is the one time I wish they hadn’t listened.

4 AM

I am stuck in a dream

I don’t want to leave so I refuse to scream

I tripped and fell into a new life

Screaming cause someone has a knife

Don’t fret, just your imagination

You’ve made a fabulous creation

The grass grows long so you lay

Wishing you would fade away

You don’t want to weep

So you wish and pray

That you won’t wake up the next day

I am stuck in a dream

Head Full of Lies

She felt as though her days were limitless

Her heart ached, her soul empty

Longing for the once happy life, the sunshine that would make her smile

Laughter, bonding, memories, happiness

Distant, now it was all so distant

What happened?

Why did he take her?

Why did she take herself,

herself away from me?

Now there is little happiness

A simple smile is painful, but she does it anyway

Faking happiness, telling herself she is okay

Xanax numbs the pain,

Alcohol makes living okay,

But inside she is dead.

ALEXANDER

JCW

2/20/16

FOR HER BEST FRIEND…SHE QUOTES, “I MISS YOU!”

 

His days were as low

as the bottom of the sea

Depressed, that’s that.

 

His words were unemotional,

unexpressive, unhappy

Not in his right mind.

 

His smile was weak,

skin pale like snow,

shaggy hair fallen in his face.

 

Couldn’t get out of bed,

not even to shower,

not even to eat.

 

That’s when I realized,

it wasn’t just a bad day he had-

it was never ending.

 

I guess I could say his days caught up to him,

cause now I’m reading the note he left me

saying “goodbye.”

Rest in Peace

Alexander

I wonder if this is how she felt…

Everyday is a constant struggle just to stay alive, nothing makes your happy, tired of trying to be happy, can’t imagine this dull pain inside your heart forever…with the hopelessness.

The feeling that you are all alone even though you know you have people who dearly love you.

There is help and you are not alone

ANGELS

Angels are all around us, with the reminder of…
a simple thought,
a shiver down our spine,
a song,
a poem,
a kind word,
a rainbow,
a hummingbird,
a butterfly,
a thoughtful gesture,
a memory.
Why are they here, but to remind us that we are not alone.
